The Village's Predicament

"Now, why did they keep them?" Princess Crystalia pondered aloud, her thoughts racing as she tried to deduce the room in which Orion and Saria were confined. She had managed to glean some information from one of the gossiping maids who had revealed they were not in the dungeons below.

Just as she was about to make a guess, several shadows emerged in the stony corridor nearby. Her heart pounding, she hastily retreated and sought cover in a section of the hall. Peeking her head out cautiously, Princess Crystalia quickly withdrew it when she realized it was Orion. 

He was flanked by three rows of guards, accompanied by members of the Prismerian Healers Council.

Though uncertain of their destination, she was determined to discover it herself.
